Elara Marina Wren was thrown to the wolves.

Her attendance at Aether Academy was not only expected, it was enforced.

Haunted by the ghosts of her past and trapped under the heavy weight of her parents’ expectations, she must return to Veilwood and continue on her father’s noble lineage. When she is sorted into the Siren Class of Aphrodite devotees, she is determined to excel in her studies. Between keeping up with her academics and adjusting to a magical society, she develops a disdain and an infuriating attraction to the most arrogant man she has ever met.

Rowan Mattias Grim.

Local celebrity and son of Headmaster Grim. Rowan embodies a true Hades devotee, top of the Dark Knight Class, cunning, intelligent, and undeniably charming. Rowan battles silently against the burden of what it means to be a Grim. His future is set in stone: the 51st Bloodwright. Arranged Marriage. Ruthless, sharp, cold-blooded killer.

Cursed from his very first breath.

Or so he thought-until Elara. Through truth serums and Potions projects, Elara and Rowan risk exposing their own vulnerabilities and a forbidden attraction that threatens to consume them both. As Elara uncovers secrets about her past, her lineage, and Rowan Grim, she soon finds out not everything is what it seems. All the while, Elara is reeling with the burning question:

Does Rowan Mattias Grim, the man she hates, really have a heart?
